Heartbreak. Poems

the cedar tree

bright …

a flash of light -
thunder clapped like cannons as
into the old tree
we scurried ...
the mouth of its little
hollowed-out gut, yawning like some
tired old man from a Dickens story ...
perhaps the chin of the
ghost of Jacob Marley, let loose in
horrid fashion from its jaw-
binding bandages ...

       ~ then found

hope hushed

bound by doubt, I stood there amidst the bluebells
watching where she'd been but a moment sooner
dusk to come, her breath hanging like the
       shadows
she, thus departing

on my tongue, sweet words melted soft and
       tender
all those daring, romantic thoughts I'd gathered
passion dreams that longed

Lover's heartbreak

All I have left of you is this kiss ?? 
And it wasn't even on my lips
It's just a reminder of how I fell out of love
And I'm left sitting here wondering 

The first week I'd just stand by the shower
And the water full throttle would have at me
It'd be cold but I'd stand there

Two Too Much

To Tantalize with Skirt

To Jiggle and Giggle

To Romanticize and Flirt

Too Fickle with Wiggle

 
To Fantasize 'bout Skirt

No Jiggle and Giggle

To Dehumanize and Hurt

No Pickle to Wiggle

The bird couldn't do it

Gondola was prepared to welcome you 
You desired the white clouds instead 
A void settled on the palm of my hand
The bird too couldn't unfold its wings

A Soldier's Prayer

I was at war,
fighting for my nation.
Blood stained the ground,
the sounds of guns and bombs
pierced our ears—
like ominous words carved in the air.

When I lifted my head,
I saw us fighting with one hand,
while others already lay lifeless.

Our families prayed,
hoped we’d return safely.
But as I looked at the sky,
time stopped for a breath.

And I whispered—
“God, even

Together With Nature

I see the way the trees sway when your name leaves my lips
I hear the screams of their howls and the thoughts they wish to blow away
Their thoughts, 
My thoughts, 
Our thoughts,
They become whole, they become one 
Together with nature, yet keep me grounded 
I still think about you, I see us in the stars

A broken heart has no hole, yet it bleeds,
So time will heal the wound your hatred breeds.

Consumed By Misery

Last night was no different 
I cried myself to sleep again 
I haven't fallen asleep peacefully 
Since cannot remember when

My broken heart it pains me
And I can't keep the tears away 
Maybe my heart will heal soon
But today will not be that day

I'm empty without your love
Im left feeling barren inside 
It's not just a

Swallow Hollow

Detection of orbs, orbiting my eyes

Perfection absorbs, and I'm paralyzed 

Broken and brittle, split in the middle 

She spoke without tittle, spit out a riddle


Follow the hollow, to swallow the hollow

Wallow at every turn

Wallow and swallow, or sorrow tomorrow 

Follow or ever burn


Baited, deflated, fated not sated

Orbiting eyes would burn

Hated, degraded, fated not mated

Some boys

do you ever have your contact bother you all day,
and then, just before you take it out,
it fixes itself?
that’s how i feel

we were almost to the end of our walk.
“i’m dissatisfied,” you muttered, avoiding my glance.
i wish you had met my eyes.
we could have both seen
we were both
afraid of

i dreamt that we lied

Silent Scream

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart screams silently in pain,
Dry tears still drown my fragile soul,
My grief is small yet vast as rain,
My cheeks stay parched though hot tears roll.

My throat cries out in voiceless will,
I’m crushed by love too dark to care,
Your gentle hand was made to kill—
You broke

Loneliness

My heart hurts
My soul is tired
Cant feel the earth
I’m uninspired 

I’m on my own
I’m all alone
In the unknown
Turned into stone

Left in the cold
No hand to hold
I have no control
I can’t be consoled

I’m lost in the crowd
Where the silence is loud
And a dark purple cloud 
Covers me in shrouds

I can no longer pretend
No, the blues never

Get on with your die

some signal assigned you has not arrived
all doors locked with house's gatekeeper gone
removed remote heart not in to survive
with losses a plenty there's no will has won

lost love hangs ever present clinging past
across forward path and no way around
with futures foreclosed chance saying at last
blame guilt any excuse will bring you down
